1st event on ice - 1st day

WOW !
1st day is now over, Started with 500m and a bit of failing on that heat.
I skated a bit in the morning, before the race and it felt good.
Good morning Coach :)
After watching the ladies 500m, I went home for a 2 hours rest, in that time I watched maybe 100 YouTube video's about 500m skating and  I tried to analyze them before my 1st time on that event.
When my time came, I was nervus as hell ! The only thing I can say I do good on ice, is the starting line jump, I got strong strokes and I can go quite fast on a good start, for some reason (I guess why) that didn't happen in the 500m heat, and I had a bad start followed by a bad skating :(
Finished with 00:00:43.7 sec.

After resting and getting ready (More mentaly) the 1500m came, and OMG I was the 1st couple to skate ! but this time, it worked.

Coach had a long talk with me, how to relax my self.
Coach briefing
After a good start, I opened a gap which took me to victory in my 1 on 1, and in the total score somewhere near the end of the list, but not in the end ! :)
Finished with 00:02:12 , 41km/h avg.speed.


And in the end, 1 good photo :)
Tomorrow, I got 2nd shoot at 500m and I'll race for 5,000m as well.
